Find a therapist in New York — covered by insurance

I have over 10 years of professional practice experience with working with people. I provide both short- and long-term therapy to children, families, and adults navigating challenging relationships. I meet you where you are and guide you toward the person you would like to be.

Ms. Elsa I. Arce is a Bilingual (Spanish-Speaking) LMHC, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner, Abundance Coach and a Shamanic Reiki Master. Trained as a traditional clinical psychotherapist, she provides therapy for children, young adults, couples, and families with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, attention-deficit, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, and family relational stress. In addition, she practices non-traditional Energy Psychology therapies that are also evidenced based. Elsa has a private practice in Westchester NY.

Ms. Arce uses energy healing methods called Emotional Freedom Techniques. While tapping on specific meridian points on the body, and talking about the specific problem, it effectively release fears, overwhelming emotions, and negative thought patterns. It calms the nervous system allowing the body and mind to return to their natural healing state.

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience. I’ve spent most of my career in community mental health, where I’ve gained broad, diverse clinical experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication. Because communication is such a vital part of effective therapy, my background in communication strongly enhances my clinical practice and the work I do with clients.

Ever feel stuck asking, "I don't know why I can't do this, why is it so hard for me?" It’s a completely normal question, and here is the truth: it’s everyone, everywhere, and you are absolutely not alone! I bring an energetic, empowering, and action-oriented approach to therapy. I truly love seeing people thrive and witnessing that "lightbulb moment" where a client breaks through an obstacle and unlocks real, lasting change in their life. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready for that breakthrough, let's team up!

Therapy is a safe space for you to explore and be heard. During our time together my role is to help foster a safe space and meet you where you feel your needs are. Together we can discuss the stressors which have you reaching out for therapy.

Our human experience can carry trauma, and I bring both clinical training and real-world experience in trauma informed care from health care and higher education. I support people in moving toward health-based emotional and mental well-being. My work integrates clinical knowledge with embodied, brain-based approaches to healing. Light-hearted and warm, I deeply value each person's unique story and inner world. I work primarily with adults, navigating phobias, anxiety, chronic nervous system dysregulation, relational repair, challenging life transitions, and persistent survival patterns. I continually expand my knowledge through innovative and evidence-based tools.

Hello, I’m Melissa Alcaide, LCSW. I have worked in human services since 2009, supporting individuals through a wide range of personal and life challenges. My professional experience includes providing supportive counseling in correctional settings, outpatient mental health services for individuals living with serious mental illness, housing and homelessness services, and helping people navigate complex systems and life transitions. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work, a Master’s degree in Human Services Leadership, and a degree in Paralegal Studies.

Today, I am especially passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, OCD, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, and building greater confidence in themselves and their decisions.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.

Hi, I’m Maya, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working with adults and children from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma—often during times when they felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.

I’m especially passionate about working with women and individuals facing grief, maternal mental health challenges, infertility, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My work is rooted in helping people reconnect with their sense of autonomy, voice, and inner strength. I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard and supported.
